Tokyo-based, Japanese designer Daisuke Yamamoto, utilised discarded Lightweight Gauge Steel (LGS), commonly used in construction framing systems, to create the FLOW furniture collection. The design prioritises deconstruction to avoid a 'scrap and build' construction process. Yamamoto advocates for a 'fluid material lifecycle minimising industrial waste' approach, seeking to shift from a conventional 'think → build → waste' model to a more sustainable 'waste → think → recreate' process.

Paris-based designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have designed 'Truss', a multifunctional collection of tables, sofas and benches, for American furniture maker Emeco. The manufacturer is known for its reuse of waste materials and robust handcrafted chairs that are built to be passed down through generations, an example of which is the 1006 Navy Chair® made from scrap aluminium in 1944.

Muller van Severen designed the Duo Seat for their solo exhibition Future Primitives at Interior Kortrijk in 2012. The Duo Seat consists of slim horizontal steel bars with cloth spanning between the bars, allowing large pieces of furniture to appear 'invisible'. Shortly afterwards, Muller van Severen created the Solo Chair, which was a core version of the Duo Seat and also the Rocking Chair, both of which follow the same principle of visual lightness.

Lounge Seating designed by Charles Pollock for Bernhardt Design. Charles Pollock's designs were governed by two principles. Creatively, he favored a continuous curved line when sketching ideas and creating forms. The second principle was that any product must be visually attractive, functional, and affordable. In 2012, the 82-year-old Pollock introduced his first new product in America since the debut of his iconic Pollock Chair forty-seven years earlier. Pollock’s new collection CP Lounge was commissioned by Bernhardt Design.  Bernhard Design

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was selected to design the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. Inside, Mies included chairs and stools for the King and Queen of Spain. Designed in 1930, the Barcelona Couch shares the same simple elegance as the iconic lounge chair. Mies granted Knoll the production rights to the Chair and Stool in 1953. Knoll was formed in 1938 by Hans Knoll in New York. Knoll
